Chapter 117: Business Uniform (III)

Qian Xiangnan was amused by Zhao Pu's method of drawing lots and said, "It's a waste of time to use this method, but according to my speculation, if those team members, Huo Cheng and the veterans, touch an ugly monster, they will definitely not be able to hold on their faces. If the trouble starts, good things will really turn into bad things."

Zhao Pu laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that the observing judge and the clerk would be very worried about a grand wedding. If you really want to laugh at your colleagues' teeth when you say it, just use your brain. The idea proposed by Judge Qian just now is feasible. First, register voluntarily, and second, you have not married. Only if you meet these two conditions can you be qualified to participate in the distribution."

Qian Xiangnan had a sudden inspiration and said, "I occasionally see their account books in rich business assistants. Their accounting methods are very strange, all of which are crooked curves. They call Arabic numerals. I have carefully studied them. This kind of Arabic numerals is extremely easy to use for accounting."

Although Zhao Pu didn't learn much of the Four Books and Five Classics, his talent was extremely high. He focused on the strange words written by Qian Xiangnan and the simple calculation rules, and silently pushed them in his heart for a while, and said in admiration: "I don't know who is so smart to come up with this set of things. These algorithms have been available since ancient times, but they are not profound. His biggest advantage is that they are simple and easy to understand. With a little learning of the peddler, they can master these algorithms. It is really simple to use for accounting. However, does this have anything to do with the allocation plan?"

"Thinking of the Arabic numerals used in accounting, I think of a wonderful method, which can list the list of sergeants assigned to the distribution, and then list the military position of each sergeant, the military service, age and reward status of the Black Eagle Army. The first is the military service situation. The commander and commander or above have priority. The choice of Hu Miao has no right to choose the Hu Miao, and it is not within the scope of consideration. The team leader, fire chief, and sergeant are divided into three levels: 10, 5, and 1; the second is the military service of the Black Eagle Army. The Black Eagle Army has only been established for four years. If the military service is over four years, the military service is calculated as 10.

If you have three years of age, you will be counted as 8th grade, if you have two years of age, you will be counted as 6th grade, if you have one year of age, you will be counted as 4th grade, if you have less than one year of age, you will be counted as 2th grade; thirdly, if you have less than one year of age, you will be counted as 1st grade, if you have more than one year of age, you will be counted as 1st grade. This is very simple; fourthly, if you have received the military level reward of the Black Eagle Army, you will be counted as 10th grade, if you have received the infantry or cavalry, you will be counted as 5th grade, and if you have received the battalion, you will be counted as 2nd grade. After listing the four levels, add them together to the final level of each sergeant, and finally select the Hunn in the order of level."

When Zhao Pu heard the plan to allocate money to the south, he exclaimed, "It's such a brilliant plan."

Seeing that Zhao Pu did not sing another opposite, Qian Xiangnan said modestly: "The Black Eagle Army has more than 4,000 people. It takes a lot of manpower to calculate the level of each person, and it is also a troublesome thing."

Zhao Pu smiled and said, "The army has its own roster. You only need to find more than a dozen sergeants who can make up the calculations. It won't take long to complete it."

The two of them excitedly delivered this distribution plan to Hou Dayong. After looking carefully, Hou Dayong was surprised and thought to himself: The ancients were really smart and knew to quantify various factors.

A similar distribution plan, Hou Dayong once saw in modern society. It was when he was cleaning up his grandfather's relics. He found a house allocation point list. Hou Dayong's grandfather was a civil servant in the early 21st century in the 20th century. At that time, he was in the period of transformation from a planned economy to a market economy. All agencies generally raised funds to build houses. After the house was built, the floor, apartment type and other factors determine the quality of the house. After countless intrigues, everyone gathered their wisdom. In the agency, a house allocation plan that all parties could accept - a scoring system. Each person who is qualified to participate in the distribution of houses formed a certain score according to the position, service life and other conditions, and then obtained the right to choose a house according to the score.

"Very good. This plan is very operational. I think no parties will have much opinion. You two will take responsibility for this matter to the end, calculate the levels of each sergeant, and make a little correction. This level can be used as a basis for paying salaries. The higher the level, the higher the monthly salary." Hou Dayong said this, thinking that he had changed the military system and formation without sufficient investigation and research before without successfully teaching a lesson. He also said: "It is only an idea to determine the salary level based on the level. It has not been discussed by everyone. Don't announce this matter to the public for the time being. You two are focused on distributing the Dangxiang Women."

When Hou Dayong captured Tongxin City, Chai Rong, who was far away in Daliang, finally survived the pain of the queen's death. He wiped away his tears and began to deal with state affairs normally.

Chai Rong had a hidden hut, which was arranged simply. It was arranged completely in the study of the old residence of Chanzhou, with some books and maps, an ordinary wooden table, and several Hu chairs. Only a few old people in Chanzhou could enter this hut. The old people in Chanzhou included Wang Pu, Wang Zhu, Xiang Xun, Han Lingkun, Cao Han and others who gradually took power. Zhao Kuangyin was the talent that Chai Rong was interested in when he was the prefect of Kaifeng. Although he was not an old person in Chanzhou, he could be regarded as an old person in Kaifeng. He was the only important official who was not an old person in Chanzhou but could enter and exit the hut. The royal relatives of the imperial court, such as the inspector of the front office of the palace, Li Chongjin, the commander of the guards, and Hou Dayong, the governor of the Xiongsheng Army, had no chance to enter this hut.

Chai Rong has a rule: In this hut, everyone can discuss matters as they please. When leaving this hut, they are not allowed to leak topics discussed in the hut in any way. Violators will be punished for nine clans.

Chai Rong looked at the recent battle reports on the west and south side intently. He had read all these battle reports, but because the queen died of illness, Chai Rong had not yet carefully studied these battle reports. He frowned and looked at these battle reports, and raised his head from time to time, thinking about the deep meaning hidden behind these battle reports. Under the wooden table, two essays in plain clothes sat quietly on the Hu chair, one was the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor Wang Pu, and the other was the Hanlin Bachelor Wang.

After reading the battle report, Chai Rong said to the two men: "The Northwest War is essentially over, and Hou Dayong really lives up to his expectations. The coalition first defeated the Dangxiang South Army in Yizhou, then moved the army northward to lift the siege of Lingzhou, and then severely damaged Dangxiang Fang as the main force at Xiao Niuguan. After several wars, no less than 20,000 soldiers in Fangtang were killed, and only fifty or sixty thousand people could fight. After this battle, it would be difficult for Fangtang to recover his vitality within ten years."

Although Wang Pu was the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor, he was the work of Privy Councilor. "For decades, the powerful enemies of the Uighurs and Tubo in the past have fallen apart. The eight divisions of the Dangxiang took advantage of this space and gradually became a big shot. The people of the Dangxiang Tuoba were the most powerful among the eight divisions of the Dangxiang Councilor. If they were not resolved in time, they would be in a big way. This time, the Youzhou army sent troops to capture Yanzhou, and Li Yiyin was not responsible for killing Dehao, the commander of the Cavalry Commander. It was too whimsical to try to cover things up. Recently, Yanzhou Jiedushi Yuan Feng and Fuzhou Jiedushi Tian Jing both sent memorials saying that the Youzhou army was frequent and we should not take it lightly."

Chai Rong was an ambitious man. Sweeping all directions and revitalizing the rivers and mountains of the Han and Tang Dang was his greatest goal. He said a little disgusted: "I think how powerful the Tang army was at the time, but in the end, they had to rely on the Hu people to support the broken land. Xia, Yin, You and Sui prefectures were granted to the Tuoba people of Dangxiang. In fact, the four prefectures were nominally driven by tigers and wolves in the back door. Now the four prefectures are nominally the Dazhou towns. In fact, like the Western Shu, Southern Tang, and Northern Han, they are all local forces that separatist. Sooner or later, the Great Zhou will regain the land of these four prefectures, but the army is fighting the south with all its might. Fighting on both sides is a taboo of military strategists. We cannot use troops to the northwest for the time being. Fortunately, with Hou Dayong in charge of the northwest, it is difficult for Li Yiyin to make big moves."

After hearing Chai Rong's words, Wang Da thoughts quickly. Restricting the force of the town was a secret strategy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Wang Dazhu was an important maker of this strategy. He was a little worried: let Hou Dayong restrain Li Yiyin in the northwest. Li Yiyin had 70,000 to 80,000 people, so Hou Dayong must have 20,000 to 30,000 people. This is the largest armed force except the imperial guards. This armed force is far away from Daliang and has extremely strong combat power, which is difficult for the court to master, which conflicts with the basic national policy.

Wang Zhu is a very distinctive personality, he is smart and wise, and has a wide range of friendships. He is the most unceremonious among the old people in Chanzhou. He often cares about Chai Rong. He likes Chai Rong. He likes the things in the cup just like Li Bai. If Wang Zhu had not become a good wine, the position of the prime minister would not be Fan Zhi. This is in sharp contrast to Wang Pu's straightforwardness. On the other hand, it is precisely because Wang Zhu has obvious shortcomings that he is most trusted by Chai Rong. Wang Zhu said: "Li Yiyin, a Tuoba man, did not show his intention to rebel. He does not need to arrange too much troops in the northwest. He can draw a clumsy general who is good at guarding the city from the imperial guards to guard Yanzhou and strengthen Yanzhou defense, Feng Jiye, Yuan Yue of Yanzhou, Tian Jing of Fuzhou, and the Yanzhou garrison, which is enough to pose enough threat to Li Yiyin."

Wang Pu shook his head and said, "The total strength of the towns in the northwest is nearly 100,000, but it is too scattered. Each town has only more than 10,000 people. It is difficult to concentrate its strength like a sand-like manipulation, and it is easy to be defeated by powerful enemies. Fang Dangjun's army is not as strong as Tuoba people, but they have successively defeated Jingzhou Army and Fengzhou Army. The number of deaths in the two armies reached more than 12,000, which is a rare loss in recent years."

Wang Zhu immediately retorted: "During the Tang Dynasty, all the towns had heavy troops, the most were Fanyang, with more than 90,000 people, followed by Hexi and Longyou, with more than 70,000 troops, and a little smaller land Shuofang and Hedong, there were more than 60,000 people. The consequences of the towns having heavy troops were obvious. The Anshi Rebellion is the best example, which gave the Hu people an opportunity to take advantage of. The big tail is not only suitable for Tuoba people, but also for various towns."

Wang Pu asked bluntly: "The imperial guards are all stationed near Daliang, and the number of people has exceeded 100,000. If we follow Zhiwei (Wang's name is Zhiwei), will it be too big to lose?"

"It's true that heroes have similar views. As Brother Wen Bo said, the imperial guards have been divided into the Palace Front Division and the Guard Division. No tiger has two tails, right?"

Since Wang Zhu and Wang Pu met, the two have never stopped bickering. Many policies in the Great Zhou Dynasty were formed in the debate between them. Chai Rong had long been used to them bickering like two crickets. He listened to the two of them with thoughtfulness for a while and said, "The two are extremely reasonable, but the focus is different. Knowing that the micro-mindedness lies in military affairs. Wen Bo talks about the matter in the temple, and it is more perfect to combine the two views. The Northwest Alliance in the Battle of Xiao Niuguan severely damaged Fang Dangjun. It has been more than half a month since this matter. If nothing unexpected happens, the report of the Alliance occupying Tongxin City will soon be sent to Daliang City."

Wang Zhu said to himself: "The Black Eagle Army has extremely strong combat power, and compared with the most elite imperial guards, he may not be at a disadvantage."

Chai Rong agreed in his heart that Wang Jie's practice of weakening Jiezhen. He said: "The focus of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in Huainan. It is not yet time to use troops to the northwest. After the Northwest Alliance captured Tongxin City, the war in the northwest ended here. The war could not be expanded anymore. Hou Dayong could be in charge of the northwest camps and recruited envoys to maintain a coalition army of about 15,000 people. It is used to stabilize the situation in the northwest."

Wang and Hou Dayong were not familiar with each other and had no prejudice. However, the painful lessons of the various towns in the late Tang Dynasty made Wang and his army unable to believe any generals. He suggested: "When the situation in the northwest is slightly stable, the northwest camp should be removed. This camp has the power to rule the towns in the northwest. It should not be maintained for a long time."

Chai Rong smiled and said, "Zhiwei is too careful. The way to control generals is to check and balance. As long as one general does not allow one general to dominate, there will be no Dong Zhuo and others after checks and balances."

However, Chai Rong still adopted Wang's opinion, pondered slightly, and said to Wang Pu: "Fang Dangren has been unable to invade the border within ten years. The governors of the northwest of the army were very powerful. They were appointed Hou Dayong, and Wang Yanchao Jiedu was the chief magistrate, Wang Jing, Feng Jiye and the chief magistrate to commend the achievements of these Jiedu in the northwest battlefield. In addition, Hou Dayong was transferred to Lingzhou as the governor of Shuofang. Feng Jiye was transferred to Fengzhou as the governor of Xiongsheng Army. Except for their respective soldiers, the rest of the soldiers stayed in their original place according to the rules of the Privy Council. The coalition forces captured Tongxin City and recovered Guyuan was the cause of the ripe melons. Tongxin City was the ancestral land of Dangxiang Fang, and the land would be strongly counterattacked by Fangtang, and the war was difficult to cut off. Tongxin City was controlled by Shuofang Jiedushi. Guyuan was very close to Qingzhou Weizhou. Weizhou was promoted to Jiedushi, and Weizhou was under the jurisdiction of Weizhou and Guyuan. Wang Jing was appointed as the governor of Xiongwu Jiedushi and the governor of Weizhou. Guchun was appointed as the deputy governor of Xiongwu Jiedushi and the governor of Guyuan. Wang Yanchao, the governor of Yongxing Army, was appointed as the governor of Fengxiang Jiedushi, and Li Hui, the governor of Yongxing Army, was appointed as the governor of Yongxing Army."

As a result, all the towns in the northwest moved their positions. Wang Zhi felt relieved. He took a gourd beside him and smiled and said to Chai Rong: "Your Majesty, I'll take a sip." Seeing that Chai Rong did not object, Wang Zhi took a big sip, and then handed it to Wang Pu. He said, "Come on, and after drinking, every hair will stand up."

Wang Pu ignored him and took several memorials handed over by Chai Rong, all of which were in the situation in Huainan.

Huainan is the main battlefield, and the situation on the battlefield is far less clear than that on the northwest battlefield. Zhou and Tang army confront each other along the Huai River. Chai Rong was both angry and helpless. "The army attacking Huainan is the imperial guards of the Guards and the Palace Front Office. This is the main force of the Great Zhou army, but the small Shouzhou blocked the pace of progress. It is discouraging to think about it. If you can't defeat Shouzhou next year, I will transfer the troops in the northwest to fight and make the imperial guards embarrassed."

Although Wang Pu was the first deputy envoy of Privy Councilor, he had always participated in the decision-making in Huainan and was quite familiar with the situation in Huainan. He was full of confidence in the southern expedition and said: "A lonely city in Shouzhou is completely protected by Liu Renchan. In my heart, Shouzhou is actually a thing in my pocket. Li Jing, the king of Jiangnan, was scared to death. If Shouzhou is broken, he would be even more scared to death."

During the war between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty had established its advantages early and had already taken a great advantage: at the beginning of the third year of Xiande, the king of Jiangnan, Li Jing, sent Sikong Sun Sheng and the Minister of Rites Wang Chongzhi to Daliang, presented 1,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, 2,000 pieces of silk, and also gave countless tea, silk, gold, silver, silk and other items to the soldiers of the southern provinces. As the Zhou army advanced step by step, Li Jing sent Zhong Mo and Li Deming to bring tribute clothes, belts, gold, silver, coins, tea, medicine, cattle and wine, and proposed to cede the six states of Shou, Hao, Si, Chu, Guang, and Hai in exchange for short-term security.

Chai Rong accepted the property, but refused to accept the six states. The six states were cities along the Huai River. What Chai Rong wanted was all the land north of the Yangtze River, that is, the four states of Shu, Qi, He and Tai. Li Jing, Jiangnan, was unwilling to lose all the land in the north of the Yangtze River and was forced to conscript troops to resist. The two sides launched a tug-of-war in the Huai River. Although the Zhou army had the upper hand, Liu Renchan, the guard of Shouzhou, was a stone in the thatched cottage. The Zhou army besieged Shouzhou several times, but returned without success. Shouzhou became the key to the battle for the Huai River.

When talking about veteran Liu Renchan, Chai Rong had to admire him. He said to Wang Pu and Wang Zhu: "When you have captured Shouzhou, you must find a way to capture Liu Renchan alive. Such a loyal and righteous person is also very admired by the enemy. I want to reward him greatly and let Liu Renchan set an example for the generals of the Great Zhou."

Wang, Wang Pu stayed in the hut for more than three hours, and Chai Rong did not leave them for dinner. He walked towards Rende Palace alone, with some sadness, and several eunuchs followed behind him timidly.

Before Queen Fu died, Chai Rong agreed to her last request - to marry Queen Fu's young sister as her wife, that is, to make the sixth sister of the Fu family become the queen. Today, King Fu Yanqing of Wei sent Fu Liumei to Rende Palace.

Chai Rong walked very slowly. Empress Fu was the mother of the world, but she still could not resist the call of the god of death. She was only twenty-six years old when she died. Fu was posthumously named "Empress Xuanyi" and was buried in Xinzheng Camp. The tomb was called Yiling. Chai Rong walked with Empress Fu countless times on this road. Now, the road is still the same, but the queen has left forever. Chai Rong often felt a little dazed when walking on the road. His beloved wife's voice and smile were still vivid in her mind, so clear that it seemed to be touched. But when she really stretched out her hand, she found that the yin and yang were always separated.
